Rose was on leave, and stayed home the whole day.
Hans drank all night, and pretended to be dead in bed during the day. Li Du had nowhere to go, so he stayed at home to read and play with Ah Meow.
In the evening, Hans woke up, full of energy, and called Li Du over.
Li Du looked at the sky and said, "You go have fun by yourself. I'm going to sleep after reading."
Hans said, "Why are you acting like an old man? Come on, buddy, you're still a rising sun. Bring out your energy. At your age, I'd masturbate three times a day, and then go have fun all night! "
"I'm a human, different from you."
"What do you mean? Aren't I also … "
"No, you're an animal."
After going around in circles, Li Du finally went because Hans had called him for business. The first-generation iPhone that they had put up for sale on eBay had been sold.
After the auction, the phone was finally priced at 28,500 dollars. Hans asked him to pick up the phone, and then deliver it to the buyer the next morning.
Looking at the useless iPhone, Li Du exclaimed, "This thing can actually sell for more than 28,000 dollars? My God, city people really know how to play. "
"What's this? Aren't there people who spend 28 million to buy a painting? "
This way, March could be considered a bumper month. So far, they had earned 70,000 dollars, and this was only the first half of the year.
Hans said that he would get rid of the belt, and that he had already contacted a buyer. It was a collector of World War II military supplies in Flagstaff. The belt was sold for 10,000 dollars, which was a satisfactory price.
There were auctions every day in the United States. Every day, there would be thousands of ownerless old storage units being auctioned. However, if the area was limited to Flagstaff and its surrounding areas, there were not many.
Li Du enjoyed this kind of life. When he had a storage unit, he could go around and earn a lot of money. When he had nothing to do, he could stay at home and read and play with the cat. It was perfect.
In the end, on the third day, he was called over by Hans again. This time, Hans called him early. "Come over before nine o 'clock, I'll bring you to meet a big shot."
After the two met, Hans drove his old F150. Li Du was surprised to see that he was wearing a suit today, and his shoes were shiny, which was rare.
They drove to the entrance of the Sheraton Hotel, one of the two five-star hotels in Flagstaff. When they arrived, the doorman opened the door for them with a surprised look on his face.
"This is the first time you've seen someone drive a pickup truck here, right, kid?" Hans teased.
The doorman shook his head and said, "I've seen many pickups, but this is the first time I've seen such a broken one."
A blond, handsome man in his thirties laughed heartily. "Big Fox, you actually drove such a car here. My God, you're the most famous treasure hunter in Arizona now. It's time to get a better car."
Hans said seriously, "That won't do. This car has been with me for too long. It's my good friend. I can't abandon it just because I have money."
"I think you don't have any money. All your money has been squandered and enjoyed, right?" The blonde man teased.
Hans said embarrassedly, "Uh, life is short. Enjoy it while you can."
Hearing that, the golden-haired man clapped. "Well said, buddy. Life is short. Live it while you can. I like your attitude toward life. It suits my style."
"That's why the outside world calls you the Playboy," Hans said.
With that, Li Du knew who this was: Playboy Akkalou Benidito, another famous treasure hunter in Flagstaff. At the last gathering, someone had told him some stories.
Hans introduced the two of them to each other. Akkalou Benidito hugged him passionately and said, "You're Li? What a handsome fella. Just by looking at your hair, I think you're cuter than Andrew. "
The relationship between the Playboy and Cocky Eyes was very bad. This was also a well-known fact among the Flagstaff treasure hunters.
The two of them had fought many times over storage units. It was said that Akkalou Benidito had once been sent to the police station for an underhanded reason. He had to pay a large sum of money to be bailed out.
After getting to know each other, Akkalou Benidito brought them into the hotel and went straight up to the sixth floor. A few voluptuous girls with heavy makeup were waiting at the elevator. When they saw them, they immediately smiled.
Akkalou Benidito casually put his arm around a red-haired, big-breasted girl, and waved generously. "You guys do as you please. When we enter the studio later, it will be very boring without the company of a girl."
Li Du pulled Hans aside and said in a low voice, "What are you here for today? Not to watch you guys fool around, right? "
"Fool around? We took care of Andrew. When Akkalou Benidito heard the news, he was very happy. He specially wanted to get to know us. Coincidentally, there's an auction today, so he invited us to come along. "Hans rolled his eyes.
This was a good opportunity to broaden their horizons. For treasure hunters to make money, they had to first rely on luck and second on foresight.
Luck depended on God, but foresight was an individual's ability. Hence, they had to keep learning, and the auction was the best classroom.
It was not easy to participate in the auction. One had to have money and status to receive an invitation from the organizers, or they had to have someone like Akkalou Benidito to lead the way. For country bumpkins like Hans and Li Du, it was impossible to get in on their own.
The auction started in the afternoon, and the exhibition was held in the morning. It was located in the lobby on the sixth floor of the hotel.
There were scanners at the entrance and exit of the lobby, and a group of burly security guards patrolled the area. From time to time, there were elites wearing sunglasses and headphones passing by, just like in the movies.
Li Du followed the two into the lobby and saw the display cabinets scattered all over the place. Dozens of people were scattered around, each looking for something they were interested in.
It was his first time entering an auction, so he was a little reserved. Akkalou Benidito walked over and said, "You don't look relaxed. Trust me, you need to find a girl."
"My sisters are not good enough for you?" The red-haired girl pursed her lips and smiled.
Li Du had already found an excuse. He waved his hand and said, "Oh, no no no, I'm allergic to perfume, so I'm sorry …"
Hearing this, Akkalou Benidito immediately shook his head. "You're allergic to perfume? Oh my God, that's too scary. A girl who doesn't use perfume is not a good girl. Will you never meet a good girl in your life? "
Li Du laughed. "Let's see what God wants. I hope He'll be merciful."
As they chatted, they walked in front of a painting. The painting was very messy, with exaggerated lines and messy colors.
Li Du did not understand what it was, but when he turned to look at the introduction, he was shocked. "'Life Behind the Stage,' Pablo Ruiz Picasso. This is a painting by Picasso?"
Akkalou Benidito laughed. "Looks like you don't appreciate it."
Li Du shrugged. This kind of painting was indeed not his cup of tea.
In fact, these collections were not his cup of tea. After a quick round, he stood in a corner and released the bug to train his control.
However, when the bug flew out, it did not land on his hand like before. Instead, it flew towards a display cabinet at the side.
